20,000 Leagues Under the Sea	comment	Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea is a 1869 French adventure novel by Jules Verne. It has a strong focus on technology, existentialism, and marine biology.During a visit to America, Professor Aronnax, a famous French marine biologist, is invited to join a US Navy expedition in the hunt for a mysterious sea monster (believed to be a giant narwhal) that has attacked and damaged two ships. Once they find the narwhal, it attacks, causing Aronnax, his trusty manservant Conseil and Ned Land, the ship's Canadian harpoonist, to fall overboard (well, Conseil jumped, to rescue the Professor). They clamber onto the only dry spot in the sea, namely the narwhal's back, expecting to drown as soon as it dives. Then a hatch opens...The mysterious narwhal is in fact not a whale, but a high-tech electric submarine known as the Nautilus, owned and designed by the mysterious and eccentric Captain Nemo. While refusing to put our heroes ashore, he lets them live, and takes them on a fantastic journey under the seas of the world, showing them the many wonders of the world beneath the waves. Aronnax finds himself torn between his passionate interest in marine biology and his desire for freedom—should he try to escape with his comrades or stay and find out why Nemo sails around the world?The novel has a sequel, The Mysterious Island, which tells Nemo's Backstory.Fun fact that people sometimes forget: the title refers to the distance the Nautilus travels horizontally over the course of the book, not the depth it dives to. 20,000 leagues vertically would be impossible, being 80,000 kilometers,note Verne used the metric league, which is 4 km or twice the circumference of the Earth. The translation is partly to blame; a closer translation would be Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the 'Seas', which is sometimes used in more modern translations. A Saturday Night Live sketch with guest host Kelsey Grammer as Nemo lampshaded this misconception.The book is now out of copyright, and the original French text can be obtained from Project Gutenberg here. This English translation, done by Verne scholar Frederick Paul Walter, is a modern, highly accurate translation of the book, free of the errors that many other editions of the book have. Alternatively, check out the most common edition here. This translation, done by the Reverend Lewis Page Mercier, is widely considered to be the worst translation of the book; it is riddled with errors and censorship, as well as incorrect numbers (for example, the density of steel is given as .7 to .8 times that of water, while Verne really wrote 7.8 times that of water, which is the correct value). Sadly, it is also the most common translation—check your bookshelves for this version!This also allowed life-long fan and mini-submarines builder Pat Regan to publish a sequel (mostly inspired by Disney's movie), titled Vulcanium.The best-known adaptation of the novel is without much doubt the 1954 live-action film by Walt Disney Pictures. Atlantis: The Lost Empire, also by Disney, is very inspired by the novel.

20,000 Leagues Under the Sea / int_1616e13	comment	Ripped from the Headlines: It is speculated that Verne got its inspiration from the real life Nautilus, a diving bell presented by American inventors Samuel Hallett and Henry Sears in 1858 in France. Its tests were covered by the Le MusÃ©e des Familles magazine, in which Verne worked at the time. Another inspiration has been proposed to be Spanish inventors Narciso Monturiol and Cosme GarcÃa SÃ¡ez, who deployed functional submarines in 1859 and 1860 respectively.

He had a beard before that as well, in the 1916 black and white silent adaptation (which merged it with the sequel, The Mysterious Island into one story, as if the events all took place simultaneously, though the sequel was supposed to be many years later), Nemo has a beard, as well as wearing Blackface. The beard already appeared in the original illustrations of the book, since the artist used Colonel Charas as a model—fitting as Charas' life was somewhat similar to Nemo's, and he may also have been Verne's inspiration for the character.

Trying to destroy The Empire, he ends creating a society very much like it.

20,000 Leagues Under the Sea / int_3114c1e5	comment	Ramming Always Works: Why the Nautilus needs a custom-built prow. Real Life Writes the Plot: Verne himself had been a supporter of the Jeune Ã‰cole—the political advocacy group which aimed to raise French naval power to global dominance by implementing newest inventions into smaller, cheaper vessels to leapfrog the need for untenable monetary investment into a fleet the size of the Royal Navy. Additionally there was a very brief window in the latter half of the 19th century where naval armor outpaced naval firepower, rendering ironclad warships nearly invulnerable to enemy fire. This led to a revival of ramming as a naval tactic and an obsession with putting rams on warships despite their dubious value. 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea was published right in the middle of this ramming rennaissance.

20,000 Leagues Under the Sea / int_33d5b7f2	type	Adapted Out
20,000 Leagues Under the Sea / int_33d5b7f2	comment	Adapted Out: This is often the fate of Conseil in adaptations after the 1954 Disney version. Even in that one, he isn't very much like his book counterpart. In more recent adaptations, Conseil is often replaced with an original character who may be a Token Minority (often with Politically Correct History thrown in). Sometimes, the replacement character is Conseil In Name Only. Whatever the case, this replacement character is typically not just a servant to Aronnax, but rather his (or sometimes her) own person. This may have to do with Values Dissonance. note To be fair to the original, Conseil is like a student apprentice to Aronnax which justified his servitude. Modern day STEM graduate students may find a parallell or simply the fact that Conseil in the book was given little characterization other than his encyclopedic knowledge of zoology and his devotion to his master Aronnax.

20,000 Leagues Under the Sea / int_56b53152	comment	Green Aesop: There are passages talking about how important marine life is. . . well, certain kinds of marine life, based on the old idea of "useful species." In particular, Aronnax at one point has a fairly long speech about overhunting of manatees and related animals choking rivers with kelp whose decay causes disease. That this is interspersed with scenes of the Nautilus crew engaged in massive fishing to sate both curiosity and hunger and the occasional wholesale slaughter of pods of sperm whales may seem schizophrenic to today's audience, but at the time, there was a clear divide between what was seen as "useful species," necessary for maintaining natural equilibrium (and thus, human comfort), species which were "mischievous" or malevolent and should be killed with impunity, and everything else, which can live or die at whim. Modern understanding of how interconnected ecosystems are somewhat undermines the point, but there's still a strong message of oceanic conservation in the text.

(On multiple instances he gives distances in both lieues and nautical miles, which correspond exactly, if a "lieue" is 4km.) Nemo reclaims the South Pole in his name.

Aronnax describes the language like this: Given that the Nautilus crew is a N.G.O. Superpower, it makes sense this language is a Conlang Completely Original, designed to substitute all the other â€œcontinentalâ€� languages that were original to each of the crew countries that the crew has abandoned. Aronnax observes that just moments before his death, one of the crew forgets to use that Conlang and ask for help in French. A hungry Ned Land also theorizes:

But at that time Russia was an ally of France, so due to the censorship the editor (Hetzel) rejected the idea. Verne, aggravated by this decision, resorted to not mentioning Nemo's origins.

Anyone not familiar with archaic species names might be forgiven for thinking that Jules Verne was describing mythical beasts rather than sperm whales. That being said, this is a bit of a deconstruction, as Nemo's wanton slaughter of them to protect a pod of baleen whales is not portrayed in a positive light: the professional harpooner Ned Land doesn't bother hiding his contempt over this, and the massacre serves as an early indicator of Nemo's less savory side. The message is clear: even if they are monstrous, that doesn't give humans the right to massacre them wholesale.

Superpower, their members only consume sea products and speak only their own language, but we never know any of them; they are nothing more than nameless masses. The only one who matters is Captain Nemo (the Emperor), who claims an entire continent in his name and constantly does horrible things for no other reason than because he can. The three prisoners personify a conquered nation's attitudes about The Empire: Aronnax is the high class, who tries to get all the knowledge he can from the Empire, Conseil is the middle class, who passively accepts his loss of freedom as something inevitable and doesnâ€™t want to make a decision without the approval of the high class, and Ned Land is the lower class who rebels constantly and uselessly. However, after seeing Nemoâ€™s Kick the Dog moment with his Weapon of Mass Destruction, the three classes agree that Nemoâ€™s empire is as bad as any other.

They seem to avoid the three main characters, but appear to be cleaning, cooking, piloting and fixing the Nautilus as needed in the background. It's implied that the crew, like their captain, have given up on the surface world and have no interest for anything outside the sea, hence their lack of interest in the newcomers. Or possibly Nemo has forbidden them to socialize with others.

The translation is partly to blame; a closer translation would be Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the 'Seas', which is sometimes used in more modern translations.

20,000 Leagues Under the Sea / int_f2c895f	comment	Your Terrorists Are Our Freedom Fighters: Captain Nemo is an early example: he adopts the Ocean as his new homeland and finances the Cretan Rebellion because he hates despots. However, the Nautilus permits him to destroy any of The Empire's ships with total impunity (no nation could chase him to the bottom of the sea). His superior technology means that even the military is as helpless as ordinary civilians. To the land-bound empires, Nemo is no better than a pirate, which had about the same stigma that "terrorist" has now.

Professor Aronnax and Conseil are impressed with Nemo and their incredible voyage, and it's not until they see Nemo's more villainous actions before they realize Ned was the Only Sane Man.

20,000 Leagues Under the Sea / int_f68664dc	comment	Science Is Bad: Subverted because the book shows us all the good things the Nautilus can accomplish. Only after The Reveal, Aronnaxâ€™s Heel Realization lets him know that those good things canâ€™t justify the terrible violence. At the end of the day, however, the message is rather that science is not good or bad, but depends on how you use it.

20,000 Leagues Under the Sea / int_fd1a643b	comment	Polyglot: Nemo is fluent in French, English, German, and Latin, and claims to speak many other languages. He also has a strange language of his own that he and his crew use. Professor Aronnax speaks French, some English (though he defers to Ned when needed), some Latin, and can read and understand German, but not speak it. Conseil speaks French, German, Flemish (presumably, as that's his stated ethnicity), and, given his training and profession, probably at least as much Latin as Aronnax. Even Book Dumb Ned is bilingual due to his nationality.
